Hi from Italy!!!

Hi,

I'm Mario from Italy.......I have HD FXST 1340.
I have a question
Anyone to mount this kit "Radium 250 Wide Tire Kit" ?
Is a good kit o bad ?
They are undecided between PM Phatail kit or Radium 250 Wide Tire Kit,which differences are except the price

I'd like to mount this kit "Hawg Halters Drive Side In-Board Rear Brake System"(left) they are compatible?
Sorry for my English!
thanks for help
Mario

I don't know much about the kits but since you are replacing the rear section including the swing arm I would make sure you go with quality. Everyone seems to have good luck with the PM kits.

And welcome. My wife and I would LOVE to visit your neck of the woods.

Welcome!

No need to apologize for your English. When I was in Italy, my Italian was pretty bad.

Everyone there was very kind. Can't wait to go back...it is a beautiful country.

Caronte76, where in Italia do you live? I spent some time in Vicenza when I was 18 and 19 years old in 1994-1996. I loved it there. I wish I could speak on that kit you were asking about, but I have never heard of it. I agree with what was said though, since its a swingarm swap, I would definitely look for quality. Judging by the three you listed, I'd go with the PM set up....Ciao!!!

Mario, check this out:

I know the PM kit is $1,500 more, but based on your location and the possibility of having to return a kit that doesn't fit, I'd go with the PM.

Ciao
